If we can agree that the judges’ opinions have an effect on voting, and that the producers of the show have preferences regarding contestants that are more about ratings than vocal talent, then we can face the fact that to a large extent these shows are scripted.Because of this, it was necessary last night for all four judges to heap praise upon Adam Lambert who took screeching off-key to a new level. Their reaction to his performance for anyone who isn’t tone death had to be mind boggling. Same goes for that big ol’ country bumpkin Michael Sarver. Though he displayed more singing ability than Lambert, it was mediocre karaoke at best. But, not for the judges. They also sung his praises. Guess they don’t want to waste all that down home footage.
On the other hand, they were not impressed by Megan Joy whose voice has a quality professionals would die for. Matt Giraud, Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, Scott, Allison, Alexis, Lil and Jasmine all deserve to stay. Jorge and Anoop should pack their bags. You heard it here, first.
